Silver Dollar Rush Ends As Old Coins Remain
Washington AP The government will no longer exchange silver dollars for paper money. A 1963 law requires an unmarked envelope with a dollar’s worth of silver granules when presenting a dollar bill at a New York or San Francisco assay office. About 3 million silver coins remain, mostly Morgan type from 1879, and bills worth $1.7 billion will last for years.
